The Leaving Time

" The Leaving Time"




Through the tangled branches,
I see the hues of scottish tartan hills...
the hints of sunlit fingers reach
this dark forest floor,
stroking my cold body,
warming me now -
deliberate and steadfast.....
the darkness becomes less so.
i am leaving this place ,
where i hid from myself...and from you.
walking, but not running,
glancing back....
(but only once)
I leave.
(Gregory)
